relationships. Interactions within mentoringrelationships can be negatively impacted if there is a lack of self-awareness for one or moreparties. To increase an individual’s self-awareness, practices in self-reflection may provideopportunities to gain insight, leading to a deeper level of understanding. However, there islimited research in the field of engineering education that considers self-awareness specificallyas an aspect of research mentoring relationships. The goal of this study was to assess the currentclimate of STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) graduatestudent researchers’ self-awareness using the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale, with emphasis onengineering graduate students.

Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) stresses the significance of incorporating criticalthinking instruction, along with other general engineering expertise (e.g., soft skills) inengineering curriculum through their published student outcomes (Claris and Riley, Email: mshokrolahshirazi@marian.edu2012). Since the connection between CT and problem-solving in engineering is a recurringtheme in the literature, teaching and learning critical thinking should equip differentlevels of problems with varied features that involve appropriate hypotheses, methodsfor experiments, and structuring open design problems (Ahern, Dominguez, McNally,O’Sullivan, and Pedrosa, 2019). On the other hand, the challenging level of the problems is another key

However, engineering education continues to underemphasize or even omit non-technical aspects of engineering practice [3], [6], [7]. Insufficient attention to socioculturalcontent in engineering classes can limit students’ ability to become holistically competentengineers [8] and potentially result in the development of future engineers whose designs furtherperpetuate social and systemic inequities, such as environmental pollution or inefficient designsthat disproportionately affect vulnerable populations and risks human lives [9].

different situatedlearning experiences can influence lifelong learning orientations (attitudes and values related tolifelong learning). There is wide awareness that the engineering profession has a role to play inaddressing global socio-technical problems such as climate change and digital misinformation[1]. At the same time, rapid technological change and other shifts in the labour system mean thatengineers’ workplace responsibilities and career paths are prone to uncertainty and precarity [2].As will be discussed, lifelong learning competencies can enable individuals to navigate thesechanges and challenges in their individual career trajectories and to make innovativetechnological contributions.
